when John Oxley´s cutter entered the river under
orders from His Excellency, Goverrnor Brisbane,
of the New South Wales Colony. Due to his
favourable report, a settlement was established a
year later and from these quiet beginnings,
Brisbane, capital city of Queensland was
born .
Through the years of peaceful change, Brisbane
has become a city of international renown, a
gateway to the world for the states rich mineral
and agricultural produce, with a growing
commercial and idustrial infrastructure.

of the early settlers and the progressive attitut
